I was in lodgings (寄宿处) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘谨) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.
One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why.

I believe that small acts of kindness have the biggest influence on our lives. While on a vacation in Mexico with my family, I learned this valuable   36   . Our room was on the 8^th floor of our hotel, so we would    37 the elevator every day.     38  other people use it ,too.
One afternoon I rode it alone. The bellboy greeted me and   39  the button for my floor.I smiled and took the elevator in     40  . The elevator stopped at the next floor, and an elderly maid  41  in with a large bundle of clean towels. I could tell she was   42  to carry the large load and was probably   43   from having worked all morning. I felt it was not my place to interfere（干涉）, so I     44  to do something to help. The bellboy, also sensing her    45 , took the heavy bundle from her arms.
The maid looked at the boy with    46  and then smiled gratefully to his   47  . They then began to speak in Spanish to each other.    48  I couldn’t understand what they were saying , I could tell by their    49  that the boy’s act of kindness had made her day. He could have ridden in silence like me. It wasn’t his    50  to help her ,but he did    51
After I came out of the elevator ,guilt overcame me as I     52  what I should have done in that situation. Why didn’t I take the towels? The boy wasn’t    53  of how his actions would affect all the people   54 his thoughtful deed. He probably doesn’t even   55 helping the woman in the elevator. To me , his small act of kindness made my day as well.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 39 .
At one point along an open highway, I 40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop.

I started 44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other.

Like most of us, I’m more likely to be 51 from doing something bad by the social convention that 52 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever 53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our 54 preference.
I was so 55 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.”
The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to

watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires(篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.　　
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
小题1:The best title for the passage would be______.

A．Touched by the moon

B．The pleasures of modern life

C．A bottomless well of silence

D．Break away from modern life

A．there was too much pollution

B．he seldom enjoyed the fullest moon outsides

C．he didn’t adapt to modern inventions

D．there were too many accidents on the road

小题3:What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?

A．No modern equipment	B．Complete silence.
C．The nice moonlight	D．The high mountains

小题4: Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.

A．show that the writer likes city life very much

B．tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life

C．explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature

D．show that we

can also enjoy nature at home through them

小题5: The author wrote the passage to_______.

A．express the feeling of returning to nature

B．show the love for the moonlight

C．advise modern people to learn to live

D．want to share the idea of longing for modern life

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think that it’s time to change my prayer(祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.
小题1:According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they _________.

A．are lack of care

B．are watered

C．are weeded out

D．are beaten

小题2:According to Para.3 and Para.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’ motto(座右铭) may be .

A．“Seeing is believing”	B．“Put everything in proper use”
C．“Practice makes perfect”	D．“No pain, no gain”

小题3:The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probably means _________.

A．strong　　

B．strange　　

C．deep　　

D．old

小题4:Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now?

A．I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.

B．I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.

C．I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.

D．I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.

小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A．A Nice Doctor

B．The Deep Roots

C．Adversity and Suffering

D．My Childhood Memory

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth．The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to puzzle you---appears to be the key to the finding．
Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．
His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the indirect contact of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication．
But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．
People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock．He found many lies are spontaneous（脱口而出） responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”
Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate．For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth．But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email．
